The questioner: He says, yes, we can benefit from you. The topic of language is a difficult one. How did you acquire knowledge of language... how did you acquire the language, my Shaykh, with this skill and mastery of its vocabulary?
Al-'Uwayshah: I will answer our Shaykh.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-'Uwayshah: I mean, in my opinion, the terminology of hadith is actually harder than the language itself. The terminology is harder than the language, and yet if this answer is known to you, it is better that it be known. What is your opinion, my Shaykh, about the answer?
The Shaykh: Good, but it is not narrated that the one who wants to learn the Arabic language reads the Qur'an and the Prophetic hadiths, and he becomes a non-Arab from among the most eloquent of the Arabs.
The questioner : What Allah willed.
The Shaykh: Yes.
Al-'Uwayshah: Especially the tafsir, for example, when he comes to read al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, for example, who explains the hadiths and mentions subtleties in the language, and he benefits me with poetry and such. Truly, it contains great benefits.
